Mods on their job :applause:

Something like this can really put your life into perspective. Ellington plays a sport at a professional level for the most well known team in the world earning millions of dollars, but I bet he'd trade it for his dad's life.

And not to sound like a dick but where does this leave the Lakers? Is he classed as inactive?

What? He's saying that Wayne would trade all his fortunes to have his dad back...

Probably be listed as dnd - personal reasons.

Youngs should play their tails off tonight for Wayne.

Also, to answer the question posed about his situation with the Lakers, I read earlier that the team has granted him time away from the team indefinitely.
